Deck overview

This Gruul deck uses Hansk, Slayer Zealot to establish an asymmetric card advantage and burn engine. Hansk gifts three 2/2 Walker Zombie tokens to an opponent at the beginning of each upkeep. The deck then uses Hansk's activated ability, untap artifacts, and cheap damage sweepers such as Pyroclasm and Volcanic Fallout to kill those Walkers. Because Hansk has 4 toughness, he easily survives these small sweepers while drawing a card for each dying Zombie. Payoffs like Repercussion, Dingus Staff, and Gimli, Counter of Kills turn these creature deaths and damage events into lethal burn against opposing life totals. Supporting cards such as Aether Flash automate the token-clearing engine, while Hexing Squelcher and Lightning Greaves protect the board from opposing disruption.
